MAY 2018 DESIGNER'S CHOICE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello and welcome, house friends! We begin each month with a designer's choice challenge. One of us, gets to challenge you and this month it's Donna's turn to challenge us and her challenge is to make a one layer card. Easy, right? Not for me! I always need a layer or two of something, something. So here goes....my card for Donna's DCC.

I had to keep it simple....otherwise I would get lost in the details of layers....oh, Donna, how you've challenged me! I spent some time on Pinterest and found a couple of ideas and they all inspired this card.I needed some thank you cards and so I started there. I wanted something simple yet would make a statement that would fit the challenge. While going through my RI Stamps I decided on this one RI#9706-U "Flowers" from the "Contain Yourself set. Stamped in VersaFine black ink onto kraft cs, I colored it all in white pencil and accented with a yellow PrismaColor pencil for the center of the daisy. The sentiment is RI#8607-D "Thanks".My team mates have some incredibly gorgeous DCC projects to show you. Here are links to each of their blogs. I hope you'll pay them a visit.

Actually, Donna picked the challenge this week! AND yes, it was a real challenge! One-layer cards aren't something I do very often (well, probably only when I'm challenged to!)... but it was a lot of fun creating outside my normal comfort zone!Love the beautiful card you created - clean and simple, and yet very pretty! I've been wanting to do some white on kraft, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

You say you struggle with one layer cards - I think we all do at some time but what you created here is simply gorgeously ca-stunning SS. One layers always look spectacular on kraft and the beautiful flowers look amazing. I so love this one.

About Me

I'm a sixty "something" boomer who saw a handmade card one day and thought "WOW! I want to do that". Sooooo, here I am. (Secret) When I was a little girl, paper dolls were my favorite toy; I must have had hundreds of them and I used to cut the models out of my mother's old catalogs and make clothes for them with some other pages from the ladies clothing photos.
I married a Maine (iac) man and now live here in the beautiful state of Maine, however, I was born and raised in the beautiful Adirondacks of NYS. I'm devoted to my wonderful husband, my kids and my grandchildren. I'm blessed in so many ways and I count my blessings every day.
